Genus Ruegeria

Warning: In the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature, an arrow (→) only indicates the sequence of valid publication of names and does not mean that the last name in the sequence must be used (see: Introduction).

Number of species, including synonyms, cited in this file: 17 Number of subspecies, including synonyms, cited in this file: 0

Note: According to Muramatsu et al. 2007, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggests that the genera Ruegeria and ¤Silicibacter are closely related and should be integrated into one genus (i.e. Ruegeria Uchino et al. 1999 which has priority over ¤Silicibacter Petursdottir and Kristjansson 1999). However, their differential phenotypic properties do not support this unification. Consequently the authors retain the two species of Silicibacter (¤Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis Petursdottir and Kristjansson 1999, and ¤Silicibacter pomeroyi González et al. 2003) in their paper.
